But suddenly, there was a piece of news about Li Yueru, that is, the WNBA Chicago Sky team officially announced that they had acquired the signing rights of Li Yueru from Los Angeles Spark through the trade of defender Lexie Brown. Meanwhile, according to reporter Annie Costabile, the Sky team has signed a rookie contract with Li Yueru. Such news, very suddenly, before this, there were very few relevant reports.
In this regard, team manager and head coach James Wade said: "Li Yueru is a well-known player in China and even internationally, and she can add a lot of value to the team. It's about our future as much about our present. We think she's going to be a good WNBA player for a long time, so we're excited that she might play in the Chicago Sky jersey in the future." ”
Such a reality proves that the Chicago Sky team likes Li Yueru.

In the previous Serbia women's basketball World Cup qualifiers, Li Yueru averaged 16.7 points and 8.0 rebounds per game, and was selected for the best team, helping the Chinese women's basketball team to win three games and advance to the World Cup. In the domestic arena, in 2019, Li Yueru was elected the MVP of the 2018-19 WCBA Finals; in January 2021, Li Yueru helped the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team win the 20/21 WCBA League championship; in January 2022, Li Yueru once again led the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team to defeat the Sichuan women's basketball team in the finals to win the 21/22 WCBA championship. Such a Li Yueru really has enough strength.
Even, in the eyes of many people, Li Yueru has become the first person in the Chinese women's basketball team. This point seems to be reflected in many events. That is, her performance is the best in the whole team, so some Asian and even international event posters, the spokesperson of the Chinese women's basketball team, seems to be Li Yueru, such a reality, or can still prove the real problem.

All of this is a good thing.
Previously, many people were not optimistic about Li Yueru, but Li Yueru was very smart, the ball quotient was very high, and she knew how to use her body to play, which was her wisdom and the secret of her success. Nowadays, because the women's basketball team is strong, because Li Yueru is superior, she is also favored by the Sky team, which is a very good thing, if she can further improve, the Chinese women's basketball team may really become the best team outside the American women's basketball team.
